virginia, living in washington, we see the ads running over and over again. and it's no surprise that this is the most expensive senate race so far. $82 million. it's the democrat tim kaine trying to hold onto this democratic seat. he's trying to figure the seat of retiring senator jim webb. and george allen who was defeated six years ago is trying to get the seat back. it's neck and neck in the polls. one other fascinating race is montana. it's a red stated but there's a democratic senator jon tester. he's trying to hold onto this seat. republicans with their candidate denny rehberg are trying to take this from him. $50 million spent in montana which is a lot of money, about you it hasn't moved the dial at wul. before the race started they were 1% in the polls. now on election day there's a 1% difference between the two of them in the polls. then let's look at the key race for republicans where they're defending their own turf. scott brown in massachusetts. he is the incumbent senator. he's had a run for his money in more ways than one from elizabeth warren,

here's from the washington post, empty measurements. on the eve of the election, nate silver placed president obama's chances of returning to office at 86.3%, not 86.1%, not 87.8%, at 86.3%. silver's prediction is not an innovation, it's trend taken to its absurd extreme. his work is better summarized as an 83.6% confident that the state polls are correct. the main problem with this approach to politics is that it's trivial and election is not a mathematical equation, it's a nation making a decision. people are weighing the priorities of their society and the quality of their leaders. those views at any given moment can be roughly measured but spread sheets don't add up to a political community. in a democracy, the convictions of the public ultimately depend on persuasion, which resists quantification. and he goes on to write at the closing here, and so at the election's close, we talk of a statistical turnout in cuyahoga county, ohio, and talk little about sociability and unsustainable debt. the nearer this campaign has come to the end

we're coming to you live from washington, d.c. this morning. election drama could extend well beyond today's vote, for example, there's a possibility of an electoral college tie, 269-269. in the unlikely event that that happens, tom foreman has a blow-by-blow of the rules that would determine who becomes president and who becomes vice president. take a look. >> reporter: hey, soledad, even if every single state out there votes as anticipated, each one of these liens represents a way in which the battleground states could come together to produce an electoral tie, 269 votes for each of the candidates. if that happens, everything changes. here's rule number one. the incoming house of representatives would pick the president. that's right. after all this voting, all the ads, all the billions of dollars spent, the folks who are going to gather in this chamber in january would then have the task of deciding on who the president is going to be. rule number two. one vote per delegation or one vote per state. this is actually a big deal. let me bring i
